    • Vinson, D. R.; Chatterjee, N. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Providing a cost-effective and reliable computer monitoring, control, and optimization package is a greater challenge for small, unattended plants than for large energy intensive facilities. This paper describes the ...
    • Heneghan, T.; Haberl, J. S.; Saman, N.; Bou-Saada, T. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
      Building energy simulation programs have undergone an increase in use for evaluating energy consumption and energy conservation retrofits in buildings. Utilization of computer simulation programs for large facilities ...
    • Todd, C. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      As fuel costs continued to rise sharply during the 1970' s, the staff at Exxon's Benicia Refinery realized there was a growing economic incentive to optimize the production of high pressure steam. A significant percentage ...
    • Wenger, J. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
      This paper discusses the concept of a computer room fresh air cooling system with evaporative humidification. The system offers significantly lower energy consumption than conventional cooling units, with 24% reduction ...
    • Woods, Mike D. (Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1985)
    • Seryak, J.; Kissock, J. K. (Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu); Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002)
      Traditional buildings are cooled and ventilated by mechanically induced drafts. Natural ventilation aspires to cool and ventilate a building by natural means, such as cross ventilation or wind towers, without mechanical ...
    • Guinzburg, Adiel; Buse, Frederic W. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)
      For applications that involved fluids with a high rate of change of vapor pressure or low specific heat, it was found that there could be inadequate flow through the thrust bearing. This effect was compounded by the heat ...
    • Kruppenbach, Rebecca C.; Davis, James T. (Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1990)
    • Stewart, J. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
      This paper describes the three-step application of a computer program that is used for plant design and testing. In the first step, cogeneration plant energy balances are analyzed to select and design the major equipment ...
    • Nanny, M. D.; Koeroghlian, M. M.; Baker, W. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Gas turbine cogeneration cycles provide a simple and economical solution to the problems created by rising fuel and electricity costs. These cycles can be designed to accommodate a wide range of electrical, steam, and ...
    • Wang, Yanjun; West, Harry; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      Fault tree analysis (FTA) has been used in the chemical process industry (CPI) for systematic safety and reliability analysis during the past decades. Once constructed, the fault tree can be of considerable value in ...
    • Gatti, F. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      This paper examines the actual implementation of two computerized environmental system maintenance control centers. Project "A" is a candy manufacturing plant where controlled systems included subfreezing storage, HVAC, ...
    • Trace, W. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      A computer program has been developed that quickly calculates blowdown heat loss as a function of makeup water, boiler water chemistry, and blowdown recovery equipment. By inputting water analysis, basic system parameters, ...
    • Gordon, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Many computerized files of energy- and energy conservation-related information are currently available through commercial and governmental sources such as Lockheed Information Systems, System Development Corporation, and ...
    • Heussner, Mary Ann (Texas Agricultural Extension Service, 1988)
    • Troyan, J. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Reporting of energy conservation progress, particularly by companies with a multiplicity of Plants and products, can be facilitated by application of data processing systems. Experience with the development and use of a ...
